Imamzadeh Seyyed Shams al-Din Gachsaran

Imamzadeh Seyyed Shams al-Din

This great and honorable Imamzadeh is a descendant of Imam Zain al-Abidin (AS) and during the time of the Abbasid caliphs, along with his brother Imamzadeh Ismail and other brothers and nephews, moved towards the province of Ajam and settled in the current area. There is no reliable written information about the exact date and place of his martyrdom. The location of this Imamzadeh on the edge of this village, which has a long historical background and contains relics such as watchtowers, hand mills, caves, and qanats, is significant. Most importantly, there is a stone water basin with a capacity of about 2 cubic meters in the Imamzadeh's courtyard, whose construction and material date back to the era of the historical site of Dogur and Do Pa. Its use was for storing water for the construction and restoration of the Imamzadeh.
